so unexpected through the maze
and from the confines of her bed
at last a pathway clears the haze
was it something that I said
that made her stretch to touch my hand
her head leaned forward, not a word
i heard her laughter as it broke
through all the smoke that fogs her mind
the unkind battles she has fought
i never thought once more i’d see
my mother’s eyes smile back at me

- Comment from author about the poem: I wrote this poem when my mum was lost to us. Following surgery for cancer of the throat and on finding out her son had died. She never fully recovered. It was a moment of sheer joy to find she reconnected with the living.
